Digital HD VTR and System Functions
Compact, Lightweight DVCPRO HD-LP Recorder
The DVCPRO HD-LP format lets you
record up to 33 minutes onto a
compact M-size cassette (using the
AJ-HP33EMG). A 100-Mbps bit rate
and highly efficient compression
ratio combine to record 1080i HD
images in high-quality digital
component signals. A unique
recording head structure achieves the same 9,000 rpm head cylinder
rotation as in the DVCPRO50 format. This results in extremely quiet
operation while recording.
*DVCPRO HD-LP tapes recorded with the AJ-HDX400 cannot be played on a
conventional DVCPRO HD VTR (AJ-HD150/AJ-HD130DC).
Four Channel Digital Audio
The AJ-HDX400 can record full 48-kHz/16-bit digital audio on all four
channels. You can freely select the audio source for each channel,
choosing from mic, line, wireless receiver, and others. A 5-pin XLR jack
with 2-channel compatibility is used for the front mic input. Using a
stereo microphone (AJ-MC900G, sold separately) lets you record stereo
with a single mic.

• PRE REC: While in standby mode, you can continuously store, and
subsequently record, up to 10 seconds of images and sounds. In
effect, this lets you record footage of events that occur even before
you press the rec start button, giving you a way to "go back" and
capture moments you otherwise would have missed.

• RETAKE: Simply press the MODE CHECK and RET buttons at the same
time to retake and overwrite the cut that was recorded immediately
before.
• INTERVAL REC: The interval REC function is ideal for time lapse
recording, such as in environmental, scientific or industrial
applications calling for observation or surveillance.
HD SDI Output and SD Down-Convert Output Provided
A standard HD SDI output is provided for use in monitoring and line
recording. A down-converter is also built into the AJ-HDX400 for SD
(NTSC) output. The aspect mode can be selected at the camera-
recorder. Naturally, the monitor can also be used for live transmission.

Wireless Receiver
For even greater mobility in news gathering applications, the AJ-HDX400
can be integrated with an optional slot-in type wireless receiver.

GPS Unit
By mounting the optional AJ-GPS900G GPS unit, the AJ-HDX400 can
record real-time position data (latitude, longitude, and altitude) onto the
tape, conforming to UMID standards.
Power-Save Management (SAVE REC) Function
This function reduces power consumption during recording to a low
35.5 watts by interrupting playback-related circuits. Output to the HD
SDI OUT terminal can also be stopped to allow operation with less
power consumption.
Other Functions
• Color bar (switchable between SMPTE, ARIB, and full color) and
standard audio signal (1-kHz test tone) output
• Built-in SMPTE time code generator/reader, with time code In/Out
terminal
• Simple camera remote, which connects to the optional AJ-EC3P
Extension Control Unit (ECU)
• Rec Review function for easy checking of recorded results
• Multiple battery support, including Anton Bauer batteries
